Experimental, blasphemous and filthy Black Metal from Finland taking heavy influence from Black Noise legends Gonkulator. Originally released on CD by Bestial Burst and F&V back in 2009, this release would sit comfortably filed beside records by the likes of Flooded Church Of Asmodeus and Ritual Violence as its brand of slow Doom-laden crust seems to chug and heave in a very similar way. Simply put; this record sounds like the Finnish underground. Presented on black vinyl with printed centre labels inside a poly bag within full colour folded covers inside a thick PVC outer sleeve.
The debut Kasturn full length album finally available on vinyl. Raw and bleak, yet melodic and triumphant Black Metal from southern England, UK. Co-released with Nithstang Productions in the USA.

The long awaited fourth full length album by the one-man Hampshire based English Pastoral Black Metal pioneer Wapentake. Six brand new keenly crafted tracks showcasing both the acoustic folk and electric metal sides of the project equally and to great effect. Although the music is instrumental, the raw emotion found in the subtle melodies and the stirring anthemic nature of the guitar-leads paint such a rich and alluring picture of ancient rurality that vocals are not needed to convey it’s message. Presented on black vinyl with printed centre labels inside a poly bag within folded covers inside a thick PVC outer sleeve with sticker.
Originally released as a low run tape which sold out quickly back in 2017, we are proud to present a vinyl reissue of this largely unheard curiosity from the White Medal back catalogue.

Aad Sleck/Fangfoss/Люгер/Крюкокрест – “Stomping To Valhalla!” Tape
4-way stomping blackened Oi! punk metal hell that has been doing the rounds for a while now… Two UK projects and Legion Blotan stalwarts Aad Sleck and Fangfoss come face to face with two Russian acts familiar to worshippers of the Horrible Room label and Pleskau Brethren Circle. Originally released in a low run, for Russian customers only, on Horrible Room, and with an LP version in the works, this new cassette version on Legion Blotan features an identical J-card layout and comes on black tapes with stickers.
Every time we hear word of new material from the elusive Welshman Cadwyr, the sole man behind the Celtic Rainforest project, we wonder just how far the material will be pushed and pulled into the furthest reaches of genre-bending obscurity this time… This collection of 30 minutes of new material does not disappoint and goes even further than one could have been imagined; taking in elements of Black & Death Metal, Noise & Power Electronics, Classical, Dungeon & Keller Synth, Folk Punk, Trip Hop, Synth Pop, Hard Rock, Industrial, Dance & Techno music as well as sweeping up everything else in between. “Roedden Ni Yma Gyntaf”, Welsh for “We Were Here First”, is not, musically at least, a spicy blend that will suit everyone, but it is also not readily a blend that could be pulled off a seamlessly by others as it is made to sound here. Dedicated to those who fly the flag of True Wales. Comes on stickered tapes inside a full colour, double sided A6 package.
Originally released in an ultra low run on the Cosmic Cause label. Legion Blotan is proud to reissue this 2023 demo from Czech Black Metal Punk legionnaire Chevallier Skrog. Four new tracks, in 12 short minutes, of Lo-Fi yet crushing and to-the-point Black Metal aggression. You will always find CHS perpetually flying the flag of old-ways Black Metal behind a solid foundation of stomping primitive punk percussion and melodic well crafted riffs. Black & white tape inside a double-sided glossy J-card.
New EP from Legion Blotan and Yorkshire’s own Eoforan. This time taking a slower and more refined approach than their debut demo. Three tracks of crawling dark, otherworldly, oppressive and melodic Black Metal with a Post-Punk/Doom Metal foundation. Detailing the ancient horrors, misdeeds and misfortunes found at the dismal Askham Bog on the edge of York city, Yorkshire. The bog is cursed! Comes on stickered tapes inside a full colour, double sided A6 package with full printed lyrics.
New four track demo from Yorkshire’s Fangfoss. Grim and demented Punk Ultraviolence taking influence from Black Metal, Oi! and Noise Rock. Primitive Survivalist Moorland Rock & Roll. Pro-printed double sided glossy j-cards.
A statement from the artist: “Helmbrecht is disgust felt against metal and punk standards. Helmbrecht is not music neither No Fucking Art related outlet. Helmbrecht is against any form of musical craftmanship. There is no heart hidden in it. This is a cesspool”. The sole member of the project is the mighty Czech brutaliser MBN. This tape is an expanded edition of the promo tape released on Pant Y Meddygon in 2022 with 3 new tracks! Pro-printed double sided glossy j-cards.
We are proud to present the debut demo from this new side-project by the mastermind behind Legion Blotan’s own Wapentake. Hampshire, UK based Hig Geat delivers three long tracks of his most straight forward and punishing take on traditional Black Metal yet. Thundering blast beats are fiercely interlaced with razor sharp old school riffs that remind of the early more-primitive output of Finland’s Satanic Warmaster. Pro-printed glossy j-cards.
Originally released on the mighty Czech label Pant y Meddygon, “Im Moor” is the debut EP by MBN project Irrnaht who plays raw Punk Black Metal in the unmistakable style. According to the band “the project sings the spells of the hermits and impartial forest guides… The sound of the soul of the mystical night, surrounding the death crawling, cloaked in mist”. Pro-printed double-sided glossy j-cards.
Two projects created by important players on the international raw Black Metal scene whom, whatever moniker they are playing behind, are always at the top of their game. Raw soaring black melodies and aggressive stomping afoot. Originally released in small editions on Czech label Pant y Meddygon and Russian label Horrible Room; this masterpiece of a split is available once again on Legion Blotan. Pro-printed double-sided glossy j-cards.
Legion Blotan is proud to present the new EP from Yorkshire’s Ivar’s Burial featuring three tracks of raw, harsh and torturous mid-fast paced Black Metal continuing on the dark passionate violence from previous releases… The only way out is to shape shift into a new beast and flail wildly into a world where the misery never, ever, ends. Comes in an A6 package with thick double sided card covers and stickered tapes.
This new EP follows on from a compilation appearance, cassingle (“Undredging The Fens”) and split release but is the first solo release of a decent length since 2021’s debut “The Misery Of Company”. These seven new tracks of synth/guitar/vocals share a more structured, detailed and sharp side to the project while veering yet further off any prescribed course in terms of musical classification. Comes in an A6 package with double sided covers and stickered tapes. Listen: https://legion-blotan.bandcamp.com/album/mourn-the-vulnerable-worm Valor – “Dissonant Dominance” Tape
Dark and raw Black Metal act Valor is the one-man miserable incarnation of Vaérmiyr . Staring into the modern age yet standing firmly against the currents. No artificial intelligence nor technical love encoded. Pure disgust, hatred and loss. No left or right hand, no politics. Braindead. No bright and powerful tunes. Only the macabre essence of the lost and forgotten kind. “What else you fuckers wants to give up?” Pro-printed full colour double-sided glossy j-cards.
The long awaited fourth full length album by the one-man Hampshire based English Pastoral Black Metal pioneer Wapentake. Six brand new keenly crafted tracks showcasing both the acoustic folk and electric metal sides of the project equally and to great effect. Although the music is instrumental, the raw emotion found in the subtle melodies and the stirring anthemic nature of the guitar-leads paint such a rich and alluring picture of ancient rurality that vocals are not needed to convey it’s message. Pro-printed glossy j-cards and tape sticker.

Bulk Carrier is a HNW project masterminded by USA based artist Kevin Blodgett, otherwise known from the Death Industrial project Sallow Statue, Noise project I Discern as well as being founder of the excellent Blood Ties label. This latest output features two brand new 15 minute slabs of fast paced harsh noise crunch and rumble with an evolving almost-dynamic take on the genre. With no audible space to breathe, these two sides of tape are a truly terrorising and claustrophobic piece of work befitting the immortalisation of the sinking of the MV Derbyshire, the largest British ship to ever have been lost at sea. The ship sank in 1980 during a typhoon off the southern coast of Japan, claiming the lives of all 44 people on board. The tape is presented on half black/half white shells inside a black bag with insert.
Utilising field recordings made while working as a steel fabricator, this new project by George Proctor (White Medal, Mutant Ape etc…) layers up and loops the everyday sounds of hard graft in a factory setting. The natural rhythm, noise and ambience are coupled with minimal analogue synth and feedback oriented processing. 30+ minutes of Industrial music, in the truest sense of the term. Full colour glossy J-Card covers.
Shame Celebration is a Singapore/UK-based noise project executed by Damien Chong. With expertly crafted audible chaos, abrasive noise and ambient tranquility, “Two Snakes” well defined sound is very experimental in nature; all five tracks utilise multiple layers, styles, samples and approaches ranging from Dark Ambient and Harsh Industrial Noise to Electro-Acoustic elements with even a hint of rhythm and beyond. The material was mostly recorded in the dead of night using a single microphone, a distortion pedal and a laptop, during the process of recovery from a psychotic episode, making for a very uneasy yet cathartic listen. Thematically, Two Snakes addresses guilt and shame from hurting the ones we love. The subject of shame as a valid emotion is often overlooked in Western society, and perhaps it’s time to change that and celebrate our improper conscious! Presented in double-sided glossy J-Card covers, complete with on-tape stickers.
Feth is a Dungeon/Comfy Synth project from England playing the sounds of the woodland and beyond. “Numerus Bestiae” is a 60+ minute compilation of carefully selected tracks, previously only-digitally available, from several releases, now available for the first time on cassette. Taking in obscure literary references and shaping intricate, beautiful melodies and soundscapes to retell their forgotten tales. A true unique entity, Feth stands as a shining light in the wider Dungeon Synth scene, remaining completely at ease with ploughing their own furrow and taking the music where it goes, and when, very naturally. Double-sided, full colour glossy covers and on-tape stickers.
Dagger Culture – “Enlightened Age Where Death Slows” 3″ CD-r
The second release by Dagger Culture in as many years. c.20 of new material from this UK-based Experimental Dungeon Synth act which takes wider influence from Industrial & Minimal Techno music. Dark, dynamic yet euphoric emanations reveal digital and analogue instrumentation working together in ancient harmony. Based around the theme of the ancient cult of Mithras, coupled with a pinch of Tolkien worship. Glossy covers.

After fifteen years of underground activity, Glomor is dead. Best known as the sole member of excellent UKBM project Pale Mist, Glomor has grown sick of the weakness found within the contemporary Black Metal scene and decided to close the door on all current projects for good. While “Through the Labyrinth And Into Connectivity” was the last release of Pale Mist, this compilation box set marks the final statement of side projects Zawrat, Haunted Sanity and Goatchurch. Raw and uncompromising Black Metal for those who remember what the underground is meant to be all about. Three separate tapes housed in a slip case with sticker, each with their own double-sided glossy printed covers.
The third demo of Black Metal Punk attack and easily the best, most concise and hard hitting material from this Wapentake side project so far! Seven tracks of primitive riffs over stomping drums with excellent vocals. Covers printed on thick yellow card.
Yorkshire meets Bohemia. New tracks of cold and primitive guitar, synth & drum-machine fuelled Black Metal Post-Punk from both projects. Gritty and industrial no-hope music. Pro-printed glossy covers.
The second demo from the Finnish mastermind behind Absolute Key, Circle Of Ourobouros and half of Absava; Antti Klemi. Building upon the themes of the first demo and split with Hylster, “The Exile Tale” incorporates primitive loose-form, slow tempo, no-wave Black Metal chaos alongside torturous yet poetic vocals, harrowing synth leads and mournful acoustic guitar passages to further illustrate the depressive cold void of the soul, as the years light starts to fade. Pro-printed glossy covers.
Long awaited vinyl version of the infamous 3rd tape from W.M. – “Raw Rehearsals”. Some of the nastiest and most primitive Black Metal material committed to record, not for the faint of heart or casual good-time listener.

Legion Blotan version of the debut demo from this Pant Y Meddygon project! Primitive drum machine-fuelled ugly Bohemian Black Metal with Post Punk inspired tempo and riffs, complimented by disgusting tortured vocals! Double-sided glossy covers.

The first release of the new Power Electronics/Death Industrial project from New York, USA based artist Kevin Blodgett. While known for running the Blood Ties label and from his work in HNW project Bulk Carrier and abrasive industrial noise project I Discern, the intensely personal Sallow Statue enters the fray with an even darker piece of experimental electronic degradation that will surely appeal to fans of Shift and Gelsomina. Full colour glossy covers.
The second release from this duo comprising the men behind the more musical Celtic Rainforest and White Medal. Two tracks of looping, droning Industrial Noise music for fans of Skullfower and Culver. Glossy covers.
Turgid Vermin is proud to present it’s 3rd release in the form of highly experimental and free-form blackened noise by Finnish-Swedish project Unamed. The project has existed since 2010 and has released two pro-tapes through the Cursed Tapes label as well as CD-r releases through Black Saliva Secretions and Supreme Analog Torture Records respectively. “I Skogsmannens Rike” marks the first release in a few years but is well worth the wait. The live present nature of the droning and minimal electronic sounds, along with shamanic rhythms and dark hidden voices, engulf the listener in prehistoric euphoria; as if being trapped within the ancient cave walls and bearing witness to the Wild Nordic Magick up close. 6 track full length album for the free spirits. Presented in matte finished digipak with photography by the band.
UK Experimental and Noisy Dungeon Synth with Industrial influences. Based around the theme of the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, coupled with a pinch of Tolkien worship. Glossy covers.
